The Listowel Harvest Festival is always special with large crowds and fabulous racing and entertainment lined up for the week. Held at Listowel Racecourse, in the beautiful County Kerry on the West Coast of Ireland.

The new stand offers public bars and restaurant, together with a reserved upper level with dining room and Corporate Hospitality Suites. In addition to the extensive stand facilities, bars, food outlets and on-course betting facilities are also available to patrons. In true festival style fashion plays a big part with themed days occuring each day (except Wednesday ).

Listowel is a busy town but has little accommodation. For race-goers Tralee is the place to stay. A bigger town with much more to offer. Excellent Bars, Restaurants, Hotels and attractions on your doorstep with Listowel racecourse only 25 minutes away.
